| Description | Most north-European keyboard instruments were decorated on their soundboards with stylised flowers. These are not meant to be especially life-like or the work of top artists, but rather done by instrument decorators using pattern books of the period. The various processes can be clearly seen in this image showing how different colours are employed to provide highlights. Raymond Russell Collection. |
